May I cash a check for my friend who isn’t a customer of the bank?

The check in question is a third party check which is where ownership of the check is being signed over to someone other than the person to whom the check is made out. Superior National Bank does not cash third party checks for customers or non-customers.

What does it mean if an account is ‘In Trust For’ (‘ITF’) or has a beneficiary?

If an account owner has an ‘ITF’ or a beneficiary on their account, it allows for monies in that account to become the property of the named person(s) should all other named account holders pass away. The person(s) named as ‘ITF’ or as a beneficiary are not signers on the account. This is an option that may be set up on checking, savings, or CD accounts at any time by speaking to a customer service representative.
